Truck Off - Press Brake and Push Button To Start

[Kiwiaudio]

Might be perfectly normal, but ive noticed that this "push to start" pops up along with the associated dash lighting with even a light touch of a door handle, without the fob anywhere in range. Its therefore responding to the touch, not the fobs existence. If its that sensitive, maybe every little vibration is triggering it.

Did anyone ever figure out what is going on with the push to start stop light coming on and killing the battery?

I just picked up a 24 3500 dually two days ago
Has been sitting in my driveway
Went to drive it to work and the batteries were stone dead.

Had the same issues you are talking about. I have a 2020 Big Horn. The solution was the RF Hub losing communication. After a new battery, ignition switch, this solved the issue. It was dealer installed.

Ram Cares

I have spoke to ram cares several times. They don’t care. We Just picked my truck up from dealer that had the vehicle for 3 weeks. They found a draw then reset the modules then couldn’t find a problem or parasitic draw and said it was fine to pick the truck up. It cost me $900 and a new battery. I got home a couple hours ago and guess what? Truck is still not going to sleep. I called ram cares again and asked if I’m going to have to go through all of this and spend over $1000 every time the battery dies. This is the second time in a year it has been at the dealership for very similar issues. The first time the found it was the RF module and rack and pinion steering after 5 weeks of having the truck. 2019 ram 1500 rebel with 70,000 miles

Kind of messed up that they charged you and did not fix the issue. How does that work? One of the stealership mechanics on the forum should chime in.

I know the third party guy I go to does not operate like that. Then again, when they fix something it's actually fixed.

That’s sux. I definitely wouldn’t pay again when it goes back in

They must have cleared everything or just reset whatever because it was fine when I picked the truck up. When we disconnect the battery and let it sit for a while the problem goes away when we reconnect it. Sometimes it is good for a couple cycles, sometimes it’s good for a couple days. And we told them that.
